General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach 3 slows down at each point

So after changing the CV value to 45 and I think the most important thing.. changing the feed rate, really really slow (30ipm) I got a decent burn.
My theory is that since my laser is only 2.8w it cant carve fast. The spots where i had dots (after changing the cv value) was where mach3 was having to slightly pause while changing directions or where the start / stop points meet. This meant those area where getting slightly longer laser time, which meant more burn. I slowed the feed rate down and I can barely see the dots, since everything is getting a somewhat equal amount of burn time.. You can still slightly see the dots, but it is way way better than before.. and there arent as many dots, at the cv value removed the stops on the curves..
